Funny thing happened to me during my recent move. I loaded up the hitch mounted rack (Trek 730 Multitrack, Schwinn Hollywood, and 2 Raleigh Kodiaks), headed north to my new house. I get to my new driveway and low-and-behold, the front wheel was missing from the larger of the two Kodiaks. Now, this is two parts funny and one part sad. First part, I usually run a lock or at least a bungie through the wheels for safety, strike one. Second funny is my wife followed me all the way on the trip, I mean she was directly behind me the whole way and never noticed a 27" wheel bouncing away, strike two. Now the sad part, it was an original front wheel and hub in real good condition and I was going to finish the restore and sell the bike as complete. Know anyone who wants to buy a mid 80's steel touring bike minus the front wheel? Take away from this is to use your common sense and spend the time securing your rides.
